Minister Lee Hsien

Singapore, 16 Feb
Singapore Prime Minister
Lee Hsien Loong underwent
successful surgery to remove his cancerous prostate
gland on Monday, his office
said in a brief statement.
The surgeon who carried out the operation was
quoted in the statement as
saying, The surgery went
very smoothly, and he is expected to recover fully.
The doctor confirmed
there is no relationship
between this case of cancer
and a previous lymphoma
the 63-year-pold Lee was diagnosed with in 1992, after
which he underwent chemotherapy and the cancer was
said to be in remission.
On Sunday, Lees office said the surgery would
entail removal of his prostate
gland through robot-assisted keyhole prostatectomy
at the state-owned Singapore
General Hospital.
Deputy Prime Minister Teo Chee Hean is acting
prime minister while Lee
is on medical leave for one
week. Lee, the elder son of
former Prime Minister Lee

Beijing, 16 Feb A
deal with Iran on its controversial nuclear program
would help it escape from
sanctions and allow more
efforts to be spent on economic development, Chinese Foreign Minister
Wang Yi said during a trip
to Teheran.
The negotiations between Iran and the United States, Russia, China,
France, Germany and Britain face an initial deadline for a basic framework
agreement at the end of
March, and a 30 June deadline for a final settlement.
US and Iranian officials
suggest
those
deadlines are unlikely to
change. US President Barack Obama said last week
extending the March deadline would not be useful
if Iran did not agree to a
framework assuring world
powers it is not pursuing
nuclear arms capability
through its enrichment of
uranium.
Talks on the Iran nuclear issue face a historic
opportunity, and striking
a comprehensive deal on
schedule is the trend of the
times and the desire of the
people, Wang told his Iranian counterpart, according
to a Chinese Foreign Ministry statement issued on
Monday.
Reaching
comprehensive agreement is beneficial to Iran upholding its
own legal rights, including
resonance as a domestic
political issue in Australia,
and Abbott ratcheted up the
rhetoric at the weekend amid
a growing campaign to boycott travel to Bali, one of the
most popular destinations
for Australian tourists.
We will be finding
ways to make our displeasure felt, Abbott told Australias Channel Ten on Sunday.
Millions of Australians are feeling sickened by
what might be about to happen in Indonesia.
It was unclear what
measures Abbott was considering, but Australia and
Indonesia have a long history of diplomatic tension,
which has periodically
complicated cooperation on
regional issues, including
people smuggling and intelligence.

ue to a range of reasons
and complex circumstances over the past decades, my loving son first
went to Japan and then to
Australia to pursue further
education. After obtaining
two diplomas in Canberra,
Capital of Australia, he came
back home in Yangon in
quest of a suitable and sustainable career. Despite his
devoted and dedicated efforts to engage in an honest
business in Yangon for a certain length of time, it was
futile and pointless.
When there was no
scope and space for a decent
and proper livelihood back
in our beloved country in
those years of uncertain and
unclear economic environment, he and his family migrated to Australia.
During the school holidays of our grand children,
they visited us in Yangon
once every two to three
years.
In January 2015, my
son and his family members
visited Singapore on vacation. The rendezvous point
was at the condominium of
our loving daughter Thuzar
at Taman Serasi, just across
the Singapore Botanical
Gardens. Thuzar is on government assignment for
three years in that country.

Tokyo, 16 Feb Major department stores in Japan have been beefing up
their service for Chinese
customers ahead of the Lunar New Year holiday season starting on Wednesday,
in a bid to attract big-spending tourists amid a slump in
domestic spending.
To cope with rising
Chinese visitor numbers,
which have been further
boosted by a weaker yen
and an expansion of duty-free items, some department stores have been
giving Chinese lessons to
their workers or providing
them tablet computers to
aid communication.
According to the Japan Tourism Agency, the
average spending per Chinese tourist last year including
accommodation
fees and shopping amounted to 231,753 yen (about
$1,955), up about 10 percent from the previous
year.
Daimaru Tokyo Store

Nagasaki, 16 Feb
The Nagasaki prefectural
government on Monday
reprimanded three officials
of a local child consultation
centre for their inaction prior to a teenager killing her
high school classmate in
Sasebo last July. The centre
did not properly deal with
information from a psychiatrist one month before the
killing that the 16-year-old
girl, on whom the doctor
had performed a psychiatric evaluation, could kill
somebody if left unattended, according to the local
government.
The centre did not formally accept the psychiatrists report as a formal
consultation request, conduct any follow-up studies
or meet the doctor.
The prefectural government has found the
centre failed to fulfill its
duties as a consultation facility. The three officials
are the 57-year-old head
of the centre, a 52-year-old
section chief and a 50-yearold official.
The section chief is
found to have abused his
power over subordinates
and hampered the organizations ability to handle
cases, preventing an employee who received the
psychiatrists inquiry from
discussing the matter with
the section chief, the prefectural government said.
The girl is alleged to
have strangled her senior
high school classmate and
then mutilated her body
at an apartment in Sasebo,
where the suspect lived by
herself. She was arrested a
day after the killing on 26
July last year. She has been
reported as saying she had
a desire to kill someone
from around the time I was
a junior high school student.
In January, prosecutors sent her to a family
court to seek a decision
on whether the case involving a minor merited
criminal prosecution. She
was served with another
arrest warrant that month
on suspicion of attempting
to murder her father by hitting him in the head several
times with a metal baseball
bat in March 2014.
Her father committed
suicide in October.

lethal air gun
Kobe, 16 Feb A
16-year-old boy in Hyogo
Prefecture was arrested on
Monday on suspicion of
creating an air gun capable
of killing a person and possessing three such weapons,
police said.
The first-year high
school boy has admitted to
the charges, the police said.
The boys name has been
withheld because he is a
minor.
The boy allegedly
created and possessed a
2.08-metre-long air gun that
can shoot through a steel
can with a metal bullet from
a distance of around 1 metre
at his home then located in
the western Japan city of Itami during the period from
last June to November.
He is also suspected
of possessing two quasi air
guns 1.18 metres long
and 1.4 metres long less
powerful than the regular
air gun but still capable of
causing injury, the police
said.
The guns are designed
to shoot a metal bullet by
using the power of explosion of inflammable gas,
and they were created using
commercial vinyl chloride
pipes based on production
methods available online,
the police said.
The police confiscated
a steel can with a hole, believed to have been used for
test-shooting. No shooting
of human beings or animals
with the guns have been
confirmed.
